the first day of the rest of my life.

Woke up feeling more positive this morning. I mean life is too short to waste it worrying. Whatever will be will be.

Sad news this morning about the tragedy in Wako Texas. My thoughts are with them and I realise how lucky I am.

Listening to the radio and just had a full hour of 1971 hits. Fantastic. It really is good to remember all the good times I had back then. Karen Carpenter singing now and it is so good to listen to her very pure voice.

Think I am waffling a bit.

Well I am trying to do something positive about my future. I mean there has to be someone out there that will love to have an experienced Accountant working for them. I know I haven't been able to work for 13 years because of disability, but maybe with the right help and support I can return to the workplace and contribute something positive. I do have another year before retirement so someone please give me a chance.

I have updated CV and it looks a bit sad for recent years, so need to beef it up a bit. Maybe mention the campaigning I have been doing for the disabled and all the fighting I have been doing just to survive. Surely life experience has to count for something? Will have a long think on this one.

I think I will stir myself and go for a swim this afternoon. Exercise is good and helps release the endorphins, so it should raise my spirits even more. Oh for the days when I was able to play squash and tennis. I was once so fit and active and now feel like a different person, but I will not let it spoil this good day.

Just remembering that if I hadn't lost Dad, he would have been 100 on the 28th of this month. Luckily Mum's still with us, but she will be 95 in May. What do you buy for a 95 yr old? She has everything she needs (or so she tells me). Maybe will take her out for a meal because she always enjoys that. More thinking to do. I think I may get a migraine from all this thinking...................positive thoughts................positive thoughts. That's right I mustn't go down that route. If I can think positively I should be able to act positively.  Please no jokes about being positive that things will go wrong.

I hope everyone is having a good day. Will be back later.
